During WWII I think that they were the first to use Chemical weapons, and they caught the Allies completely off gaurd, It forced the US army to have to fight the New way, becasue they old way of Civil War style Combat could not be used with these new weapons coming out and such
Dont act all tuff just because your "going" into boot camp. You probably wont even make it through with that attitude.If you do I would bet that as soon as the first bullets flies over your head you'll run like a damn Yankee
There was no attitude, i just dont like people that call people posers, when they are even going to serve there counrty. I just told him to watch his mouth b/c he might say that to someone else and the guy might get his ass kicked. B/c that comment is offensive to people that feel strongly about the service. Like me. And yes i feel that i'll make it through boot camp. I'm the silent type, and i'll do what ever they tell me, and push through no matter what. And when bullets start flying, YOU MAKE THEM STOP, if you run they will keep coming. Why do you feel you can patronize me? Are you joining any service? if you aren't, dont patronize those that are.
hawk it wasnt "civil war style", it was trench warfare. You know where there are long lines of trenches a solidiers are in them and shoot at the enemy from their trenches. and the trenches served as obsticules for tanks. Had long line of barbwire, and in the middle, between the opposing enemies was called no mans land.. because you would get slottered when you tried to run across and take over. In not gonna go into everything, b/c there is way too much, and some stuff is fuzzy. But dont give people a history lesson, if you dont know what your talking about.
The USA didnt fight in the begining, they came in later. (of WWI)
And Marines, Navy, & Air Force fought also, not just the Army.
if yer gonna serve in the marines thats cool and i hope u make it through but there are also many people out there in the paintball world that call themselves paintball marines,rangers,ect. who r posers. im sick of the posers in paintball and im sure u r as well. sorry i mistook u for one of those and good luck in boot camp. hey settle down, i was just asking if u were in the marines. i wasnt saying that u werent.
I didnt mean to say in WWI, i ment in WWII.
Sorry, and yes, Poser armed forces people get on my nerve, that why when anybody asks about me, i tell them straight!
Hawk sorry to have a tude with you, i just thought i was being patronized. not by you but by others. It alright now.

Teh first people to use Chemical warefare tactics were in teh early times of Chivalry. They'd throw Anthrax-Laden cow legs and diseased cows, along with All sorts of other diseased and dead animals into castles by the use of different kinds of catapaults.
lovetocheat69 is right though, not about the whole run like a damn yanky part but the "dont act tough because your going to do something". We get that you like war stuff, you dont have to flame about it. And i thought you said you were the silent type, feel free to excersise that right.

Is that a form of chemical warfare?
Well, you see I knew they threw Dead things over Castle walls during a Siege Via Trebuchets Didnt know thats classified as Chemical Warfare

Ok, time to put this to rest.
Alpha, what you speak of is known as Biological warfare, not chemical warfare. Using rotting flesh and dead corpses as a weapon is a weapon that dates long back. Chemical warfare as we know it, was really started in World War I. April 22 1915 was considered the first modern use of Chemical weapons. Basically Chemical weapons have been in use for a long time though. Such things as sulfur smoke for example. The one problem that has always existed with Chemical Weapons is the inability to control where they are going. When the Germans first used Chlorine gas back in April of 1915, they were lucky the wind didn’t shift or else they themselves would have suffered the full brunt of the Chlorine gas.
Next topic, this idea that America used “civil war” type tactics in WWII, not true! First I think you were thinking of WWI, and that was not Civil War or European battlefield edict. It was called Trench Warfare as stated before. A few things brought about Trench Warfare. One clear reason is the invention of the modern machine gun. Both sides would use a two gun-sweeping pattern to crush anything that was coming towards them. The Generals at the time were indeed stuck with the idea that massive amounts of men thrown at an enemy’s position will eventually overthrow that position. It soon became clear that World War I was a war of attrition, and not one of clear-cut victory.
World War II used entirely different tactics all together. No longer were men just forced to charge into an open field under the fire of machine guns. Armor and aircraft backed them up. Chemical use wasn’t nearly as widespread, if it was even used at all against other troops. Yes chemicals were used, but mainly for the purpose of The Final Solution.
Some of you guys really need to research things before you talk… lol. Sometimes being a history nut and doing my senior paper on Biological and Chemical Warfare pays off sometimes (Which I got in trouble for doing it btw!)

Bah, your so right. I just got pwned. But still. If someone hit me with anything other then paint in a paintball game, theres going to be a flashbang shoved up someones ass. Sideways.
hahahaha, it's ok. I don't take pride in owning people. Everyone told me i should be a history teacher. Still might become one. I love to teach, good stuff!

The Nitrate used in fertilizers is Ammonium Nitrate, not Potassium Nitrate.
What?
Potassium Nitrate is one of the most COMMON fertilizers. Its added to all those "miracle grow" type fertilizers found at walmart for example.
When used as fertilizer, its called "Nitrate of Potash", and is excellent for acidic soil types. Ammonium Nitrate is also used, as is Sodium Nitrate and other nitrates.
Chemically, it is very easy to exchange the different types of nitrates, since they are all compound materials.
Also, just to correct:
The Germans were NOT the first to use chemical weapons during WWI. THE French DID! Both had actually signed a treaty in 1899 to never use chemical weapons, but when France broke the treaty, Germany figured they had to retalliate. Its a common misconception that Germany used them first.
Plus, they had been used in small amounts in the late 1800's. Thats why they had the Hague treaty of 1899 that every signed EXCEPT the USA! They never signed it actually signed it. (Same with the Geneva concention. They "agreed" to it, but never signed it).
